How old is the Great Sphinx of Giza?

Everyone has an answer. The textbooks say 2500 BCE, carved for the pharaoh Khafre. The documentaries say 10,500 BCE, the relic of a lost civilisation. They cannot both be right - and the gap between them is eight thousand years.

The Sphinx and the Problem of Deep Time refuses to pick a side and sell it to you. Instead it does the harder, more interesting thing: it lays out the mainstream case at full strength, then weighs the six genuine anomalies that pull at it - the strange weathering, the drainage no one can quite explain, the head that seems too small - and asks, of each, what the evidence will actually bear.
